Song length is incorrect (some songs) #27

The length of music tracks (as stored in the song_length field of the database) is incorrect - seems to be out by a factor of around 3 and a bit - and so reported wrongly to clients. I am running on Fedora 13. iTunes and other clients assume that song_length is a value in milliseconds.

Correction - on some tracks only. Will delve a little further to see if common features to files. All are mp3 VBR by LAME.

You must rebuild the VBR information. If vbrfix does not help, then rebuild the entire stream with foobar2000. Yes, the latter is a Windows app, but well worth keeping operational through Wine, even if for this one purpose.
